If you owe money to the court, like fines or fees, the court needs to figure out how much you can actually afford to pay. This rule points to a chart, called the Ability-to-Pay Matrix, that judges use to make that decision.
The chart looks at things like your income and household size to set a fair payment amount. This helps make sure people aren't asked to pay more than they can handle based on their financial situation.
If you're looking at this chart online, you may need to hit "Refresh" on the page to see the most current version. Courts update it from time to time, so refreshing makes sure you're looking at the right numbers.
